Cj,

Good review, I also feel like they peaked a while ago, right after vultures imo. Im not a fan of censored colors, even less so for this album. Good musicians run out of ideas, it happens all the time. They should really take a page from atdi and split.

On the internet and of fanboys, reasonable people like you and me are a dying breed

i sincerely think you’re stupid.

you’re writing is flat, and you spent 2 of the 5 paragraphs giving background information, most fans already know, on an ‘album review’.

Hey Steve.
I only deleted feedback coming from 1 IP that insisted on leaving duplicate disrespectful comments.

I want this blog to be a place for discussion, if someone has an opinion, they are welcome to post it, but childish internet trolling won’t be allowed.

I’m honestly surprised at the amount of feedback this review has garnered. I think that it’s misunderstood in many ways. I still listen to this album and in no way “hate” it.

Hey man, great review, even though I don’t agree with you at all. But I have a question: Why did you delete all the negative feedback? Or, what you would call it, “spam”? I think some of those comments had valid points.

Thanks for all the comments, everyone’s feedback is much appreciated, even the spam

Levi- I respectfully disagree with the assessment that this one combines any aspects from previous material other than Censored Colors. I truly believe this band peaked at Church Mouth and have since then been on the decline. As I’ve stated in the review, I have nothing but L-O-V-E for Portugal. The Man. I have been listening to these guys non-stop for years and have given my money and time to them at numerous shows whenever they’ve came to my area. I even pre-ordered The Satanic Satanist on vinyl before hearing one song from the album based on my past experiences with them.

To suggest that I dislike this album because it is garnering them mainstream success is offensive. I love Portugal. The Man and wish them nothing but the best, I just didn’t like The Satanic Satanist.

Agree to Disagree, I guess. Nothing wrong with that

Sorry, but I just don’t understand some of your critiques. This album combines all of their previous album’s sounds into one, and if you loved the previous, I’m not sure how you can dislike this one so much. It just feels like your bashing a band because you can see that they’re about to attain mainstream success, and that just wouldn’t be “cool”.

Personally, I loved the album. Because it’s exactly that, an ALBUM.

…that someone writes a very good review, makes lots of good points and does in no way just bash the shit out of it or something and then people who probably haven’t even red the whole thing but saw just the rating go on complaining. I haven’t heard the album yet, but even if I’m going to absolute love it this review is still very well written
